Hey people!
I am also interested in going to Australia for post graduation.
you can Google AMC exam . it'll answer lot of your questions.
but not all

i don't know whats the situation of IMGs in Australia. i tried to find someone who could answer my questions but couldn't. i am interested in surgery, specially cardiac surgery. how easy (or difficult) is it to get residency in this field in Australia?
can someone help me with that?
